After bariatric surgery, patients are often at risk of developing nutrient deficiencies due to prolonged vomiting, inadequate micronutrient supplementation, malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth, and rapid weight loss.
Nutrient deficiencies involved include:
- Thiamin (vitamin B1)
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin B2
- Vitamin B6
- Folate
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Copper
In the care of Dr. Jorge Reyes Mendiola, you will have at your disposal a dietitian to give you every recommendation pre-surgery and post-surgery, so you have a healthy transition and a decisive result.
